Here are some photos of Bradley Cooper on the set of Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper. Bradley’s been through the wringer in this production. He gained 40 pounds of muscle and grooved pretty hard until he lost the beard, which threw off the balance of his new look. Now Bradley’s wearing shorty shorts to play Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. His co-star is real-life SEAL Kevin Lacz, who was hired as a military consultant, but then Eastwood decided to hire Kevin to play himself. Kinda cool.

What isn’t cool? BCoop in those shorty shorts. The paparazzi have caught Bradley in so many different moments for this movie. He’s had a sniper scene, a wedding scene, a boardwalk scene, and a shorty-shorts scene. I know that the shorts are part of the uniform, but I feel like I’m getting away with something dirty by looking at these photos. He’s supposed to look hot, right? All I see is eccentric, weird Bradley again, and I can’t even see the serial killer eyes.

It will be interesting to see whether this film will make BCoop a three-time Oscar nominee. I feel like Bradley is chasing the Academy big time with his role choices over the past years. By god, he’s going to keep getting nominated until he wins. Will he ever win? The Academy does love it when actors gain or lose weight for roles.

Speaking of shorty shorts, my husband and his colleagues had breakfast next to BC at a NYC hotel in early May. Mr Liberty called specifically from a hallway to tell me about it. “Liberty dear, this is a surprisingly tiny puffy man we are seeing! Do not be fooled!”

So shorty shorts on a small size -faux muscle-poofed vanilla man make me personally think of a refrigerated dough product, not sex. Disclaimer: I like the Jean Reno/Sean Connery /Hugh Jackman/Prince Ginger size guys. *Edit – — all that said, Peter Dinklage, in another topic today, is not large of stature, but he is burning hot — I’ve crushed on him since Elf. He has IT. BC….is milk.

But, to each their own. Go for it , Bedhead, go! Catch Bradley in a pillowcase, and take him home for some sweet loving’ from the oven!

OH, F*CK NO!!! ohmygawd, this is all so very wrong. He looks junkless, and like my old gym teacher, who was a woman, yet wore almost this exact outfit. Oh, jesus, the flashbacks. Honestly, it’s those pink, hamlike thighs that are just making me feel not good. And how can a man be comfy enough to breathe, let alone do manoeuvers? Sweet Mary, this makes me want to Vote For Pedro too.

Weeks ago I went to dinner with a friend and his friend Kevin around the time of that 1st American Sniper thread. Kevin tells it as Cooper was asking Kevin questions about movie topics and characters (since Kevin is about the only living member of that SEAL team through combat and other fatalities). He says Cooper pushed for him to be in the movie. Oh Mr. Eastwood. Credit where it’s due!

There are so many conflicting blinds from many different sources regarding B Coop. That he had to bang Garber to get his Alias job. That he beat the crap out of Esposito when they were married. That he beat both Renee and Zoe. That he has drug fueled secret benders filled with sex with other men. I’m not one to lend a ton of credence to blind items, but there is just so much nasty stuff out there about Cooper. One thing is clear: he learned to put a lid on whatever it was he was doing, because he really has gone to that ‘next level’ professionally.

I read Mickey Rourke as a guess also, he has tranformed by his recent weight loss, but who knows?

Also kinda fits Jake G, in a previous article Lainey said that Maggie is good protection for Jake but he is not as good at protection (paraphasing wildly here) he also lost weight but can’t think of any previous transformation.

I stand corrected. Someone posted a link further up the thread – they’re shorts for water training. Can’t decide whether to further research why they wear booty shorts for swim training or whether I want to remain blissfully in the dark.

I still laugh when looking at the clip from the Oscars. His desperation to get the phone from Ellen is amazing. He keeps reaching for it when she’s not looking and his eyes never leave it, just watch him.

She says he was on the ground doing drills with the other seals and then a fireman sprayed them with water! And that it might be his best job ever. If you read Lainey aLl the time her blinds are barely puzzles, she Always follows up with clues and it’s pretty clear!

Well I do read Lainey all the time and that blind really didn’t fit him and I don’t think her post today has anything to do with that blind description. It was about going to the desert and doing drugs. Bradley hasn’t been to the desert for pleasure at all in recent months. Blind Gossip had some much better guesses about that particular blind, not to name names, IMO.

Now Lainey’s latest blind, it’s completely obvious it’s supposed to be about Theron.

I was recently bemoaning all the below-knee length baggy shorts and wishing guys would wear somewhat shorter ones. But Bradley, honey, when I said that I was imagining something a tad above the knee. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think you’re overdoing it.

Gross! He’s like the male version of Kat Dennings when it comes to looks. They’re both just short of good looking and often have extremely off days (even when it’s not deliberate like this is for a film).
